bigdork Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 With the Internet and books by non freight writers skewing the game a bit, I wanted to give my shouts out to the writers that have been contributing to the culture longer than most with little shine. These Dudes I have been benching since the 90's. Thanks.. any others come to mind? Takt- AKB Rite- AKB Shore-IHP Jale- TVC Space- BMC, ITD Learn- YME, (T) Ugly- KOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardwanderer Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Depends on your definition of overlooked.. But maybe add HEROIN TVC, ONOROK, AFEX AST to that list As far as streaks go, "CAT IN HAT" is definitely in the top 10 as far as #'s but you don't hear people talk about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdork Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 By overlooked I mean, dudes that have been steadily putting in work since the 90's, but you dont see them in all the mags, books, posts, or vids. Maybe they dont have the "dopest" style or have shitty car selection.. but they are supremely dedicated and keep painting decade after decade. I would definatley add Herion, Here's my thing with Ono- might be unpopular, but yeah he straight crushed from like 99-02. Maybe was one of the first dudes to get 1000. But then he just stopped, latest one ive seen is from 04. And he still gets in mags and books, yeah he deserves it for historical reasons, but dudes like the one's I mentioned are still painting decade after decade and get little shine. I just think longevity and commitiment are very crucial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleazeside Heights Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I always thought THEORY was way underrated. always see him a lot over the years, and unique quality work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolling nowhere Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Rite- AKB i met this dude 10 years ago. total train nerd. in otherwords my kinda guy as far as graffiti goes. pulled out an old ammo box with like 500000 flicks in it. Hes probably got 500000 more by now. his stuff was kinda ugly sometimes but you know that really doesnt matter much to me. he painted/paints A LOT and truly loves it. that gets a lot of points in my book.

steelbuild Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Takt and Rite paint for ASB not AKB, but yeah they put in mad work, and have got little if any shine in well over 15 years in the game shine, but then again neither believe in self promo or trolling the interweb for props. Takt literally painted till he had a stroke he is paralyzed and probably won't ever paint again unless he gets ATV tires for his wheel chair which is some shit the dude would try and pull off. He would probably thank you for noticeing his work he has his own manifesto about graffiti in general and rarely associates with other writers except for those dudes in ASB i met this dude 10 years ago. total train nerd. in otherwords my kinda guy as far as graffiti goes. pulled out an old ammo box with like 500000 flicks in it. Hes probably got 500000 more by now. his stuff was kinda ugly sometimes but you know that really doesnt matter much to me. he painted/paints A LOT and truly loves it. that gets a lot of points in my book., and yeah Rite is a total freight nerd, but he knows how to read the lines the WW II Ammo box ain't no joke he has thought shit pad locked in a crypt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
